i havn't done this *yet* to my firebird, but a good friend of mine (who'll be doing my bodywork next summer) did this to his 88 Iroc.. looks sweet.. body wise, the hardest was to not have a depression/elevation where the door handle was.. he cut it out and welded in a peice to replace it.. then he bought a kit (300$ cnd) and all it was is that it went inside the door. drilled 4 holes right under the little latch for the bracket inside the door, holding the motor that opens the latch.. then he put in a spring loaded release that pops the door open 2 inches so you can open it.. the way to open it is a remote with a receiver that he put under his dash on the passanger side.. the wireing was pretty easy and straight forward... i helped him out with most of it except the body work for i'm no autobody guy.

This is my rendering of what my 84 will look like when it's done.
